A few thoughts on finishing the book—and some great advice from my wonderful friend @mhbertino 🖤
Author @tracysoneill finished her memoir, Woman of Interest, by turning to the power of friendship and poetry. Read her essay in @WritersDigest. https://t.co/zMQBdNaFE3

I have an essay on moral worldbuilding and the necessity (and utility) of evil in fiction in the new issue of The Sewanee Review (@sewaneereview). It attempts to trace how we ended up with moral gray sludge in fiction. https://t.co/VazRB3lrZA

Rowling doubling down on an ignorance that has become her signature. It's sad. Of all the things to be, in a world as broken as this, transphobia and at this point just being loud and wrong, that being your thing. It's really sad.

From working in the depths of special collections and haunted Scottish libraries, to writing and researching and paying endless homage to my man William Morris, to now building the @SandTClassics imprint, publishing the books I love most with kind people??? I'm so happy 🥹

Something I didn't put in the essay but might write about later re: the weird pervasive silence that builds up in these kinds of dynamics is that I was an adult the first time someone told me that I didn't deserve what had happened to me.
